Instead the lines of text in the text listing are numbered sequentially and these numbers are used to identify lines of text in the concordance listing. The order of the merge-sort is set equal to the integer punched in column 7 of this card. Th[OCRerr] order must be less than six and greater than one. If this card is not used the order of the merge is five. The logical tape number of the INPUT tape (the tape containing the text) is set to the integer punched left-adjusted to column 7 of this card. If this card is not used the input tape is A2 (logical number 5). The INPPT tape cannot be A3 or B2 (logical 6 or 2). The single character punched in column 7 of this card is defined to be an `Talphabetic" character (see Part [OCRerr]). The alphabetic characters are initially defined to be the letters of the alphabet and will be interpreted as such if this card and the SPEC card are not used. If column 7 of this card is left blank, the character blank is defined to be an alphabetic character. The single character punched in column 7 of this card is defined to be a t1special1 character (see Part [OCRerr]). The set of special characters initially contains all characters which are not letters of the alphabet, and will remain as such if the ALPH and SPEC cards are not used. If column 7 of this card is blank, the character "blank'1 is defined to be an ordinary special character and the deletion of consecutive blanks described in Part 2C does not occur. If column 7 of this card contains
